The tallest man in the world, Bao Xishun (19 photos)

Bao Xishun, is a herdsman from Inner Mongolia and he stands 7 feet 9 inches; his wife is 5’6″.

He was in the news in December after he used his long arms to save two dolphins by pulling plastic out of their stomachs.
The dolphins got sick after nibbling on plastic from the edge of their pool at an aquarium in Liaoning province. Attempts to use surgical instruments to remove the plastic failed because the dolphins’ stomachs contracted in response to the instruments.
